Racial discrimination and compensation for mental injury.
Australasian Business Intelligence, February, 2007
Feb 07, 2007 (Human Resources - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australia's Federal Magistrates Court has directed Qantas Airways to pay $A40,000 to a former employee in damages. The man, an ethnic Goan Indian, had claimed damages for mental depression, stating that the condition was the result of racial taunts that had been made against him, including that he should walk up stairs "like a monkey". He claimed his superior had not only failed to stop others from taunting him but had engaged in the abuse as well. Qantas had sacked the man after he had taken time off work because of a number of injuries. He told the airline he would not be returning because of his depression, caused by the racial abuse levelled against him.
